Overview

Teenage years can be difficult for many families. Adolescence is a time of rapid change, not just for the young person but for the parents too. It might be hard to let go sometimes, but parents need to recognise that young people may develop ideas, values and beliefs that are different to those of their parents. This is part of the normal process of moving towards independence. Parents may struggle with how much independence they should allow their children at different ages and in different circumstances. Positive communication is still easy, but negative communication becomes very challenging. So how do we tune into our teen?

There is no prescription for this. Each young person is an individual and needs different advice. Also it is important to appreciate the fact that your teen has a different view of the world and their opinions need to be respected. Communication with teenagers is different from communicating with younger children and can cause conflict and stress. This interactive workshop focuses on parent-teen communication which is a crucial link to setting up a relationship or bond for a lifetime. At this age communication has to be honest, open and two way. Moreover, ground rules and expectations have to be set in consultation with your teenager teaching your teen the importance of a collaborative relationship.
